CNA program

[Guest guest]

I have a friend who's jumping from paramedic to nursing school. Oddly, though,

his RN program requires a CNA course completion certificate. Does anyone know

of a CNA program that would be willing to look at his paramedic hours in

comparison to the CNA program requirements?

Thanks,

Interesting. I have heard of a lot of programmes requiring CNA cert in other

states, but never in Texas. Perhaps this is something that is catching on.

Although I never liked the piecemail approach to education, especially in EMS, I

can see positives to this in nursing.

As for getting an exemption as a medic, I doubt that would happen. Except for

vital signs, there is nothing in a CNA course that has been covered by paramedic

school. Your friend would be completely lost without taking that course.

There's nothing more useless than a nurse who doesn't know how to properly give

bedside care and make a bed with someone in it.
